If the option to renew this contract for the first optional period is exercised by Defence Construction Canada (DCC), the annual amount submitted for FY2022/2023 (April 1, 2022 to April 30, 2022 and October 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023) will be adjusted at the two-year anniversary of the award by calculating the percentage change in the Bank of Canada’s Consumer Price Index, all-items excluding eight of the most volatile components as defined by the Bank of Canada and excluding the effect of changes in indirect taxes (CPI). The adjustment would be in effect starting the month after the two-year anniversary. The rates will then be adjusted annually thereafter on the anniversary of the award by calculating the 12-month percentage change in the CPI for the final extension period if exercised by Defence Construction Canada. There will be no retroactive rate adjustments. The CPI used for calculation will not be seasonally adjusted.
Inquiries relating to this solicitation are to be directed ONLY to the DCC Contracting Authority mentioned above. Bidders who contact anyone other than the DCC Contracting Authority to obtain clarifications during the solicitation period may, for that reason alone, be disqualified.
